Milwaukee Blacksmith - Netflix

Editor

In the blue collar town of Milwaukee, Kent Knapp and his three sons make
their living in the 5,000-year-old craft of blacksmithing. Behind the
power of his 100-year-old screw press and 135-year-old anvil, Kent built
this business from the ground up. From bank vaults, to bike frames, and
any large steel piece you can dream up, there's nothing this family
can't forge. Kent has made it his mission to pass the trade down to his
kids, hoping that they'll step up and carry the business into the
future. But they're going to have to work hard for it and come together
as a team, which for these adolescent brothers, skilled as they are, is
an uphill battle.

Milwaukee Blacksmith - Dogtooth, North Dakota - Netflix

Dogtooth is a ghost town in Grant County, North Dakota, United States.
It was so named because the shape of the nearby buttes resembled the
molars of a dog's lower jaw. The town was located in Section 11 of
survey township T133 North, Range 85 West.

Milwaukee Blacksmith - History - Netflix

Dogtooth was first established in 1876 as a station along the Deadwood -
Bismarck Trail. The station closed in 1880 when the Northern Pacific
Railroad was completed, but settlers continued to homestead in the area.
A post office was established and operated by Robert Pearce March 20,
1900. The November 26, 1909, edition of the Mandan Pioneer reported that
Dogtooth had “a great out look for a thriving metropolis as the
Milwaukee have surveyed a town near where Dogtooth now stands . . . this
part of the country is settled with people who will do all in their
power to make it a good town as they will certainly appreciate so near a
town after having to haul their grain fifty and sixty miles to a
railroad.” The Pioneer on April 8, 1910, described the new town of
Raleigh, located just two miles to the east along the Milwaukee Railroad
with “a few buildings have already been built, including a store and
blacksmith shop. The population is mixed, largely Scandinavian.” In 1910
Charles Leonard, who operated a store in Dogtooth, moved his business to
Raleigh and opened a post office that October. Dogtooth slowly died out
as Raleigh grew. The Carson Press reported on January 12, 1911, about
Mr. Leonard's decision to move his store and establish a post office in
Raleigh, suggesting that this move put “the finishing touches on
Dogtooth.”
